I'm curious as to how it works in cooling down the vapor. Maybe it's an enlongated vapor path which simultaneously cools down or diffuses(or condenses) vapor?
Either way, I'm not interested. Cold vapor is nice, but kind of unneccesary in my opinion. Vapor isn't harsh like smoke is, therefore it doesn't need to be cooled down, imo.
It would be neat to try though definitely.

Wow , quite the contraption , If you want to cool your hit , just use a 6" piece of antenna before your mouthpiece on your whip , works like a charm . Plus how much is a piece of antenna gonna cost you compared to this thing ?

I'm Nicole from VaporICER Customer Service and we got emails from stickstones and from Alucard, so I wanted to answer all your questions! Yes, we are very new and very much appreciate all of your comments and suggestions - thank you all!

1. WHAT IS THE VAPORICER?

It's a vapor cooling system that is compatible with almost every vaporizer on the market. Simply put, it makes your vapor colder and smoother for those of us who prefer the smoothest hits in the world. It's not a milled piece of metal, rather a system of various non-toxic parts that work with each other to cool down your vapors in a healthy, clean, immediate and non-toxic way. (For those who want the smallest size possible, the Black Diamond is the way to go, since it is tiny, however the Blizzard is much colder. Interchangeable/replacement mouthpieces and a 1/4 oz airtight and light-proof stash jar, are included with the Avalanche Gift Package.)

2. HOW DOES THE VAPORICER WORK?

After spending a little bit of time in the freezer, fridge, cooler, (or jammed into a snow pile on a snowboarding trip), you just attach the bottom end of it to your vaporizer (like its shown in the pictures), and fresh, cold, crisp (ice-catcher-like) vapor comes out the mouthpiece. To be more detailed, the VaporICER is a unique and patent-pending cooling SYSTEM, which is built with non-toxic materials, and passes your vapor through a complex and multi-directional path which encircles it in ice-cold air, thus cooling it down.

3. WHERE CAN I READ THIRD-PARTY REVIEWS?

You can read the Publisher's personal Product Review of it in January 2010's issue of NUG Magazine by clicking the link below or picking up a copy, and stay tuned for upcoming reviews in the other major cannabis publications around the world:

The VaporICER can be cleaned the same way any water-pipe, pipe, or vaporizer tube can be cleaned. You can run hot water, rubbing alcohol, or 420 Solution through it. From our testing, the need for cleaning is extremely rare, and when it does come around it's easy to do. The VaporICER is so inexpensive compared to the vaporizers it supports that some people prefer replacing theirs once a year or so... However, it can be easily cleaned

2. WOULD YOU ELABORATE ON THE NON-TOXIC MATERIAL ISSUE?

Gladly - all the parts that the VaporICER is made from are produced by major brands, and have been certified as non-toxic products that are safe for food consumption, although we do not recommend using it as an eating utensil The Blizzard is made out of lightweight metal to match the Volcano Vaporizer, and the Black Diamond is made out of temperature resistant plastic. The cooling mechanism inside uses fast-freezing-ice that is enclosed in a leak-proof seal. The mouthpieces are also made for smoking, and are non-toxic. ALL of these materials are 100% NON-TOXIC and safe for human food consumption.

3. ARE THERE HEALTH BENEFITS OF USING THE VAPORICER IN ADDITION TO YOUR VAPORIZER?

We make no claims that the VaporICER is the healthiest option of vaporizing your herb, however every person who tries it seems to find it to be smoother and more pleasant than otherwise harsh, hot vapor. The following third-party research suggests that there may be health benefits, but we do not know for sure:

"Cold air inhalation during exercise diminishes elevation of Tre and suggests that both the intensity and duration of work can thus be extended." (This study also shows that breathing cold air calms your heart rate and extends your stamina: http://jap.physiology.org/cgi/content/abstract/64/6/2381 )

I'd love to answer your question, and thanks for asking it because I'm sure everyone is wondering the same thing.

1. WILL THE SMALLER VAPORICER WORK WITH A PD TUBE & HOW EXACTLY DOES THE VAPORICER HOOK TO VAPORIZER TUBES?

I'm not 100% sure what a "pd tube" is, but I can explain exactly how the VaporICER plugs into any standard sized rubber vaporizer tube. Both models, the larger Blizzard and smaller Black Diamond, slide INTO the rubber tube of your vaporizer (replacing your current mouthpiece if you have one plugged into the tube) and stay securely attached until you remove them, as the rubber tube snugly "HUGS" the bottom end of your VaporICER.

The VaporICER is also compatible with the Volcano Vaporizer's Solid Valve mouthpiece, and can be used with the Volcano Easy Valve as well. Basically, it just slides INTO whichever tube you are using, and for the vast majority of Vaporizer tubes, it is a perfect fit. The worst case scenario is you might have to hold it while using it so it doesn't detach, although we've never experienced that during testing with various rubber tubes.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can answer for you, and thanks again for asking such an important question!
